Soldier Gravestones 4519 A
Tombstones marking where two soldiers died at the Battle of Little Bighorn.
If I remember correctly, these two, isolated graves were about a quarter mile from the Last Stand location where many of the 263 soldier graves are located.
I wondered how these two soldiers died - fleeing the battle or making their own desperate last stand, as part of Custer's command of 700 who were overwhelmed by up to 3,000 Lakota, Cheyenne and Arapaho Indians.
It certainly is a beautiful and peaceful resting place.
